The Benefits of Epoxy Pipe Lining


Plumbing pipes corrode over time. And neglecting to address this issue until a clog or rupture occurs will cost you a lot. Corroded pipes that burst or backup is an extremely messy, tedious, and invasive repair project. The results can force a person or family out of their home for quite some time, influence tenants to break leases, and even pose health hazards. For this reason, proper and routine plumbing care is necessary to avoid pipe damage and health problems, as well as, to protect your home's structural integrity. One innovative and effective method to preventing pipe corrosion and subsequent problems is epoxy pipe lining. Continue reading to learn more about epoxy pipe lining, how it works, and how it can benefit your home for years to come.

Plumbing Pipe Repair

Epoxy Pipe Lining Pipe repair, also referred to as "re-piping" in the plumbing industry, is not a quick and simple process. In fact, it requires the skills of a true licensed master plumber, not just a standard or contract plumber. These plumbers are fully-certified to manage the most complex and dangerous plumbing services, designs, and repairs. Re-piping is invasive, and simple replaces old piping materials with new ones; new ones that will only need to be replaced over and over again. It requires a long stint of work, time, money, and mess, and doesn't always fix the underlying problem. Fortunately, there is an alternative to re-piping called epoxy pipe lining.

Not only is it efficient and less-evasive, it is cost-effective as well. Rather than starting demolition on location, digging holes and drilling into underground piping, epoxy pipe lining simply uses existing entrance points to access the plumbing pipes that need repaired. This saves a substantial amount of time, labor costs, money, and mess. The epoxy pipe lining inner coating material is safe and non-toxic, keeping drinking water contaminant-free and safe to use for all applications. It inhibits sewage from entering local water systems as well. A master plumber can explain all the details to pipe re-lining and repair in regards to your particular and unique plumbing system.

Uses And Benefits of Carbon Steel


All types of steel contain carbon but carbon steel has more carbon content. It also includes manganese and iron. It is considered to be one of the most widely used steel metals. It has many uses and advantages compared to other types of metals. It is also known as wrought steel and it can be formed into any shape. It is quite malleable and therefore it can be made into desired shapes. It is poured into blocks that are rolled to form desired shapes.

Carbon steel is categorized into three types which include low or mild steel, medium steel and high carbon content. The low alloy is easy to form and shape as it includes low level of carbon. Medium carbon steel is mainly used to make shafts, couplings and axles.
Another notable variety of steel includes the ultra high steel metal which is very tensile and strong. It is mainly used to manufacture knives and axles.

All these types of steel metals are used to manufacture various types of industrial tools and machines. It is also used to manufacture drilling bits as it is strong and tensile. It is even used to manufacture cutting tools and nails. High steel is mainly used to manufacture drill bits, knives and cutting tools as it is strong and versatile.

In addition to this constituent, many other elements such as manganese, chromium and tungsten are used as hardening agents. The properties of steel can be determined by the proportion of these elements.

Stainless steel which contains high level of this alloy is known to be rust proof and strong. Although this type of steel is inclusive of various benefits, it includes certain disadvantages. It is known to be brittle and therefore it can seldom be used for constructing building and bridges. Steel with low level of the main alloy can be used for various purposes as it is less brittle and stronger.

Drill Pipe


Drill pipe is an industrial tubular used to drill into the ground. There are three major industries that use drill pipe. The most common application of drill pipe is in the oil and gas industry. Another industry that uses drill pipe is the underground construction industry, or more specifically, the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) industry. And finally, the water well drilling industry also uses drill pipe.

The oil and gas industry is where drill pipe is used the most.  Each 31ft length of drill pipe is screwed together one by one, and collectively they are known as the drill string. Drill collars and heavy-weight drill pipe are also parts of the drill string. At the bottom of the drill string is the drill bit, which does the actual boring into the earth. Initially all oilfield drill pipe is drilled into the ground vertically by the drilling rig. Then, depending on the proposed location and orientation of the oil well, the direction of the drilling is sometimes changed to horizontal. In comparison to other industries that use drill pipe, oilfield drill pipe is made to withstand the toughest working conditions. This is mainly due to the extreme depths it is used and the extreme conditions of the earth at those depths. For example some drill string lengths are in excess of 30,000ft.

Another industry that uses drill pipe is the underground construction industry, or more specifically, the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) industry. This industry utilizes drill pipe to bore tunnels underneath waterways, major roadways, and generally any place where trenching is not acceptable. The resulting bore is used for various utility pipelines such as: fiber optic, water, electricity, and oil and gas. HDD drilling rigs are very different from oilfield drilling rigs in that they are almost completely laying flat or horizontal.

Convection Tubing


Overview

Convection tubing has been proven as an easy and inexpensive means of distributing heat or circulating air. The tubing helps create a better, healthier air mix, eliminates stale air pockets, cold and dry spots, and reduces humidity. In winter months the tubing can be used to direct heat to the area where it is most needed. The heat is dispersed evenly for a more comfortable environment. In hot weather, tubing reduces the temperature by continuous distribution of fresh air.

For greenhouse use, it is recommended you use tubing with an ulta violet inhibitor. Ultra violet tubing should be used where the sun is most intense, or wherever a longer lasting tube is desired.

Convection tubing can be used for ventilation of poultry barns, stock farm buildings, mushroom farms and industrial applications.

Versatility

Poly duct tubing is generally available in either a 4 or 6 mil thickness.

Single Line Punching

This is the most widely used system for heating and ventilation. Tubing can be punched to specialized needs to suit all known fan systems. There are many available hole sizes. Hole positioning can also be customized to direct the air flow where it is most needed.


Multi-Vent Punching

Multi-vent hole patterns create greater turbulence that increases air flow. There are no more vent holes than single-line punching but they are positiont to permit greater velocity and turbulence of air mix.  This type of punching results in a better air mix by distributing the air in several directions at one time. Results are a more exact temperature, humidity control and better growth.

Installation

Installation of poly tubing is relatively simple. It is recommended that you use sus-hoops for quick and easy hanging of poly duct tubing to an overhead wire. Sus-hoops are made of an extremely strong, tear resistant woven reinforced polyethylene. These hangars do not penetrate the plastic. They often outlast the tubing and are reusable. When installing these hangars, the first should be at least 10 feet away. Each sus-hoop thereafter should be placed not closer than 8 feet apart. The sus-hoop is merely brought around the tubing and fastened to the wire above with a sus-strap.

Earthing Pipes


What is Earthing?

Earthing can be defined as a connection of " exposed conductive parts" of an electrical circuit to earth in order to protect a user from shock or electrocution. It is carried out by connecting the chassis of the electrical equipment with an earth pin on the main power outlet and then joining the wiring of the building to an electrically solid earth point. The earth point is generally a copper pipe or a stake which is buried deep into the ground.

Earthing, also known as Grounding, can be divided into two main categories that are Conventional Earthing and Maintenance Free Earthing. Conventional Earthing can be done using GI Plates, Copper Earthing Pipes, Copper Plates and Cast Iron Plates. Whereas Maintenance Free Earthing is ready made, standardized, scientifically developed, easy to install and has a longer life.

Earthing Pipes

Pipe earthing is the best form of earthing which is highly cost effective. In Pipe Earthing, a galvanized iron, copper or copper plated steel pipe (of approved length & diameter) is buried vertically in the earth to which all electrical equipments of an establishment, office or industry are connected by wires. To reduce the resistivity & moisture content of soil, the pit where the Earthing Pipe is placed is filled with salt & charcoal in appropriate proportion.


Earthing Pipes are generally used in places where bedrock is beyond a depth of 3 meters (10 feet). The main purposes of the Pipe Earthing System are over voltage protection, voltage stabilization and to facilitate the operation of over current devices. Pipe Earthing provides protection from electrical shock in case of insulation damage in an electrical equipment. These pipes are used in critical earthing operations in Domestic Sector, Commercial Complexes and in various power transmission, electrical and electronic applications. These pipes are resistant to environmental conditions and offer low electrical resistance which is required for a good earthing system.

Types and Properties of OCTG Pipe


OCTG stands for Oil Country Tubular Goods and covers several types of pipes and tubes that meet the standards of the American Petroleum Institute (API). OCTG covers three types of seamless tubes that have been quenched and tempered. OCTG drill pipe is heavy, seamless tubing that is used in drill strings for rotating the drill bit and circulating the drilling fluid. Normally 30 feet long, OCTG drill pipe is coupled with tool joints. OCTG casing pipe is pipe used to line the drill hole, and OCTG tubing transports the oil or gas that's produced in the wellbore. OCTG tubing is also around 30 feet long and comes with thread connections on either end.

OCTG Low Alloy Grade Specifications

Low allow steel grades used in OCTG pipe are traditionally carbon-manganese steels, or alloys with up to 0.4% molybdenum. However, in recent years, contaminants in drilling reservoirs and deep drilling applications have increased the demand for OCTG products that are more resistant to sulfide stress cracking and hydrogen embrittlement. For these applications, highly-tempered martensite has been found to be most resistant to sulfide stress cracking. Highly-tempered martensite with molybdenum concentrations of 0.75% offer the best combination of sulfide stress cracking resistance and high yield strength. When even higher yield strengths are needed, the addition of niobium offers yield strengths of up to 140 kilo-pounds per square inch.


Mechanical Properties of OCTG Products

OCTG products meeting API 5CT or 5D specifications fall into 16 grades based on minimum yield strength, maximum yield strength, maximum tensile strength, and estimated Rockwell C hardness. For example, grade H-40 has minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi, minimum yield strength of 40,000 psi, maximum yield strength of 80,000 psi, and estimated hardness of 70 to 87 on the "B" hardness scale, or HRB. At the other end of the scale, Grade S has minimum tensile strength of 145,000 psi, minimum yield strength of 135,000 psi, maximum yield strength of 165,000 psi, and estimated hardness of 32 to 39 (HRB).

Inspection Classifications of OCTG Products

Inspection classifications for new tubing and plain end drill pipe are designated by different colors of banding. White Band products are suitable for all inspections performed, while Yellow Band products are considered repairable rejects. With Yellow Band products, the bands are located on either side of the defect. Blue Band products have imperfections whose depth is undetermined. Red Band items must have body wall defects cut out of the tube for it to be usable. Damaged ends are marked with red bands, and drift restrictions are also designated by red bands located on either side of the restriction.

Some of the diverse applications of Stainless steel seamless pipe


Stainless steel seamless pipes have become very common these days and are offered by almost all steel pipes manufacturers. The benefits such as higher corrosion resistance than carbon steel and conventional stainless steel and light –weightiness make the design and construction compact and light. Stainless steel is composed of copper, chromium, nickel, tungsten, manganese, etc. and is therefore rust resistant. Stainless steel seamless pipes can prove to be a cheaper alternative to the nickel alloys, which are very costly.

Steel has higher strength which leads to reduced thicknesses of section and therefore has reduced weight. It also exhibits good weld ability in thick sections and the ability to be welded is more in stainless steel. Resistance to stress corrosion cracking: Austenitic steel is prone to such corrosions. The resistance posed by stainless steel to stress corrosion cracking makes this material fit for purposes like Hot water boilers, brewing tanks and desalination, structure of swimming pools, etc.

Steel was invented around 100 years ago. The importance of steel has risen by leaps and bounds due to various reasons and attributes of steel. Steel does not get rusted easily and is light-weight as compared to Iron. It is durable, ductile, malleable, corrosion resistant and fire-resistant among scores of other benefits. All these features of Steel have made it the king of raw materials used in almost every industry.

These rods or tubes are available in various types and forms depending on the welding and manufacturing process, the shape, length and so on. The tubes can come in hollow round structured, short and long forms, square and longitudinal shapes, and solid tubes and so on.

About seamless pipes

The word seamless means smooth with respect to structures. The stainless steel seamless pipe forms are highly popular in the market. The main difference between a seamless and welded pipe is that the joint is a part of welded products, while you will see no joints or welding in a seamless steel pipe. The seamless product is achieved by drawing together a solid quarter of steel against a piercing rod and form a hollow round shell. The seamless pipes are also known as the SMLS pipes.

Usage of these pipes

Since seamless pipes are highly durable, these are not only used in chemical and food industries, but also in various other constructions. These can be the likes of high rise formations, bridges and different types of structures or buildings. The stainless steel seamless pipe structures are known to be able to carry immense weight upon them. Thus, these are also used in various factories, heavy duty pipeline facilities and also to design pressure vehicles. Anti-corrosiveness along with high durability makes these products an ideal choice for most of the industries.

Quality and affordable stainless steel seamless pipe


Seamless pipes serve a very special purpose. Due to their physical design, not only do they ensure superior strength and support, thanks to the absence of any noticeable joints in the pipe, they also look good as well. This ensures that they find application in a lot of cases where the pipes need to be in open view. There are numerous structural advantages of using a stainless steel seamless pipe as well, all of which have helped ensure a huge demand for them in the Indian market.

Another major advantage that seamless pipes offer is the uniformity of their size. You can be certain that any quality stainless steel seamless pipe will have uniform cross section at every point. This is the result of the formation process for these pipes where the molten steel is placed around a circular object and then formed into a hollow tube. Welded pipes, even with the most  advanced welding technologies can never come close to achieving this level of uniformity. When a pipe is needed that can be counted on to fit the design perfectly, seamless pipes are the way to go,


Strength and reliability are the two areas where seamless pipes have left all other kind of steel pipes behind. Despite slightly higher costs, they are extremely reliable and can be counted on to deliver superior performance at all times.
